We headed to Desert Ridge yesterday morning. I really was on a mission to find something. Walked through store after store and only found a treasure at JoAnn Etc.

Am I the only one that does that?!

My find? A roll of magnetic tape. I pinned this idea on Pinterest a while ago. The memory department had to do a little work to actually get it done.
Now the challenge is to see if the girls will actually get their pin bobbies where they belong.

While I was browing through stores finding nothing, Jari was at the other end of the parking lot doing some bang up business.

This one is worthy of an entire post in itself.

Trust me.

This is the beginning of a whole new challenge.

I was suppose to pick up a bike as well yesterday and didn't.

I didn't get one today either, but I will.

We are going to start biking together.

We will be biking around town ....

... while Jari is going to be training for a long distance ride.
I'll be home blogging about the experience he's having.
Suits me perfectly.

The cactus are loving the warm weather we're having.
We had a few days of rain the beginning of the week and, although the skies are cloudy, aren't likely to see any more for quite a while.
90's outside on the patio and over 80 inside.

Doesn't really make a person really motivated to do some strenuous activity around here, but I am looking forward to making some Prickly Pear Jelly at some point.

Tonight the girls and I were at an engagement party for Logan & Bethany.
Did I get pictures of the soon to be wed couple? Nope.
I did get one of Logan's mom, Janet, and a bunch of girls trying to borrow car keys!
Life has so many moments to be thankful for.

Now that it is 11:02 pm, and I've been up since 4:30 this morning, I've got the itch to
drag out the sewing machine. That's what happens when you have a few inspiring conversations
with a bunch of women in a kitchen around the coffee pot.

About Me

I am a middle aged wife and mother with enough hobbies and interests to keep me going for years. I have been married for over a quarter of a century to the most wonderful man I know. We have five children who are leaving the nest at what somedays seems to be an alarming rate. The breezes along life's path have brought us to many incredible places. As life continues to change and my intersts do the same, I'd like to share a bit of them with you.
